When is the Ghost Festival?The Ghost Festival is on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year.Because the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar also means that half of the month has passed, the Ghost Festival is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Book of Changes, "seven" is a changing number and the number of resurrection. "The Book of Changes" says: "To repeat its way, it will return in seven days; this is the way of Heaven." Seven is the number of yang, the number of heaven. After the yang energy between heaven and earth is extinguished, it can be revived after seven days. This is the way of the operation of heaven and earth, the principle of the cycle of the rise and fall of yin and yang. The choice of folks to worship their ancestors on July 14 (the 27th) is related to the number of resurrection, "seven". The Taoist Zhongyuan Festival and the Buddhist Yulan Festival are both on July 15th. The "Mid-July Festival" was originally a folk festival for ancestor worship in ancient times, and it was called the "Zhongyuan Festival" because of the Taoist saying after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Buddhism calls the 15th day of July the "Yulanpen Festival". In a certain sense, the Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to the secular folk religion, the Zhongyuan Festival belongs to Taoism, and the Yulan Festival belongs to Buddhism. Introduction to the legend of Zhongyuan FestivalThe Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the Ghost Festival, so the legend of the Zhongyuan Festival actually has something to do with ghosts.According to folk legend, on this day, the gates of hell open and the ghosts in the underworld are released. Those who had owners went home; those who did not have owners wandered around, lingering in any place where people could find something to eat. Therefore, people hold "Pudu" ceremonies in July by chanting scriptures and performing rituals to help the lonely souls to be reincarnated, to prevent them from causing harm to the world, or to pray to ghosts to help cure diseases and protect the safety of their homes. The above is the legend of the Ghost Festival. |
